President Barack Obama, on Monday night at a green energy conference in Las Vegas, blamed the critics of his energy policies for attempting to limit the consumers from accessing solar power, wind power and other alternative energy sources.

During the speech at a green energy conference in Las Vegas, Obama mentioned that this is not the American way as it is focused on past versus the future whereas America believes in future.

He singled out billionaire brothers, who are major donors to Republican political candidates too, Charles and David Koch. He blamed them, along with ‘big fossil fuel interests’ and ‘conservative think tanks’ of ideological inconsistency. He said that they are the champions of free market solutions except when the free market boosts renewable energy.

On Monday, Blue Bell has announced the return of its Homemade Vanilla in stores. It will be available in the stores on August 31 in different locations. News about the return of one of Texas' favorite frozen treat has set the social media into celebration mode.

The iconic brand is going to return next week in Brenham, Houston and Austin, along with Birmingham and Montgomery, Ala. In Aprile, the brand was removed from the store shelves after a Listeria outbreak. Around 10 people got sick, out of which, 3 lost their lives later on.

Findings of researchers from Johns Hopkins Medicine in Baltimore, MD, suggest that people who participate in weight-loss programs under supervision of certified physicians have better chances of losing weight than those who follow their own program.

Published in Patient Education and Counseling, the study showed that weight loss accounted for twice as much for patients who reported their health care provider’s support as particularly helpful than those who did not.

“This trial supports other evidence that providers are very important in their patients' weight loss efforts. Incorporating physicians into future programs might lead patients to more successful weight loss”, said Dr. Wendy L. Bennett, assistant professor of medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

Scientists say that they can effectively turn off cancer as they have found a code to perform the before-impossible task. Experiments made it possible for the researchers to make cancerous breast and bladder cells benign again.

The researchers are of a firm belief that they can replicate the benefits for many other types of cancers as well. The US researchers have made a breakthrough in the field of biology, providing the code, the software for not allowing the cancer to grow.

The code is actually a new strategy got cancer therapy. A lot of progress still needs to be made in technique, but initial results have made sure that cancer will not claim as many lives in future as it is in the present the scenario.

Till now, less number of women and minorities are working in medical specialties in America. In order to address health disparities, it is vital to diversify the physician workforce. Researchers said that medical schools have been trying to increase the level of diversity of their children.

Dr. Curtiland Deville of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland said that there are some specialties like radiology, orthopedics and otolaryngology, where there is no equal distribution of women and minorities.

A new study has unveiled that second cancers are on rise in America. Second cancer means a different tissue type or a different site. Nearly one in five new cases in the US reports of second cancer, which does not include recurrence or spread of the original cancer.

The researchers have found that around 19% of cancers in America are second or more cases. With passage of time, the percentage has increased. In the 1970s, there were only 9% of such cases. But over the time, the number of first cancers has increased 70% and second cancers have rose 300%.

But if another side of the story is considered then it can be said that people are living longer enough to get the disease again. The researchers said that with increase in age, the risk of cancer increases.
